The Month of May

I was asked at the beginning of this Marian month if we could have an opportunity to come together to say the Rosary. We will keep the feast of Our Lady of Fatima by having a holy hour with recitation of the Rosary starting at 6.00pm on Wednesday, 13th May at Holy Angels Church, Ash.

Litany to our Lady of Fatmima

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for our dear country
Our Lady of Fatima, sanctify our clergy
Our Lady of Fatima, make our Catholics more fervent
Our Lady of Fatima, guide and inspire those who govern us.
Our Lady of Fatima, cure the sick who confide in thee
Our Lady of Fatima, console the sorrowful who trust in thee.
Our Lady of Fatima, help those who invoke your aid.
Our Lady of Fatima, deliver us from all dangers
Our Lady of Fatima, help us to resist temptation
Our Lady of Fatima, obtain for us all that we lovingly ask of thee
Our Lady of Fatima, help those who are dear to us
Our Lady of Fatima, bring back to the right road our erring brothers
Our Lady of Fatima, give us back our ancient fervor
Our Lady of Fatima, obtain for us pardon of our manifold sins and offences.
Our Lady of Fatima, bring all men to the feet of thy Divine Child.
Our Lady of Fatima, obtain peace for the world.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Let us Pray:

O God of infinite goodness and mercy, fill our hearts with a great confidence in They dear Mother, whom we invoke under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary and our Lady of Fatima, and grant us by her powerful intercession all the graces, spiritual and temporal, which we need.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Please also ask our Lady to pray for our Bishop designate during this month. Offer up a Rosary or even a simple Hail Mary for him every day if you can.

You can also say this prayer for him:

O God, eternal shepherd of the faithful, who tend your Church in countless ways and rule over her in love, grant, we pray, that Richard your servant whom you have called to be set over your people may preside in the place of Christ over us, the flock whose shepherd he will be, and be faithful as a teacher of doctrine, a Priest of sacred worship and as one who serves us by governing, Through Jesus Christ your Son. Amen.

 

 

The Universe Catholic Newspaper

In an increasingly secularised world, it is often very difficult for Catholics to keep abreast of news and current affairs and yet the mainstream media are not always very good at reporting events from a Catholic or Christian perspective, let alone reporting events which keep us in touch with matters affecting the wider UK and global Catholic world. Last year’s Synod on the Family was misrepresented by the wider media and worrying concerns such as the introduction of 3-parent embryos were reported on uncritically. Equally the massacre and persecution of Christian communities in the Middle East has been largely ignored, as has Pope Francis’ several homilies, demanding urgent action. 

It is always a good idea for Catholics to glean their information from a reputable and trusted Catholic source, which will offer a faith-based perspective and insight into what we might see on the news or read about online or in our daily newspapers, as well as keeping us abreast of various Catholic headlines throughout the globe. For this reason we will be trialling selling copies of the Catholic Universe available for purchase at the back of the Church. The Universe is the largest selling Catholic newspaper for Great Britain and Ireland, and has been since 1860. It works closely with all agencies of the Catholic Church to produce a newspaper whose news coverage is second to none; and it enjoys a considerable reputation for campaigning on a wide range of Catholic concerns. Fr Robin’s wife Caroline is also one of their regular columnists!

If you would prefer a different weekly publication, please speak to Fr Robin as there needs to be enough regular readers in order to make subscription worthwhile. 

Baptisms

Baptism forms are available at the back of both Churches. Parents will need to attend an evening Baptism course. Please return your completed Baptism Form to Deacon John Edwards so that you can be included in the next Course.

 

Holy Angels

Prayer Group: takes place once a month on a Tuesday in the Parish Office at Holy Angels Church at 7.30pm for a 7.45pm start.
Next meeting: 12th May, 2015

Prayers for the sick

We pray for all those who are sick at this time and we pray that the Lord in his infinite goodness will hear our prayers and restore them to complete health. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen

We pray at this time especially for:

Deacon David Morgan, Connie Tewkesbury, Jane Brown and Sharon (sister of Marian Grannell) Tina Coleman, Carole Appleton, Louise and Jean. Thank you.
